Magnetic resonance imaging--its application to cervical carcinoma.

Twenty-five women with primary carcinoma of the cervix were examined with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). A number of different pulse sequences with T1 and T2 weighting were employed to determine optimum tissue contrast, and the potential for staging cervical cancer was assessed and compared with the clinical findings. MRI is seen to give a unique view of cervical cancer in particular in stage I and II disease where other imaging techniques have known limitations. In addition, stages III and IV were well seen with demonstration of tumour comparable with that of computerized axial tomography (CT).

Magnetic resonance imaging and hydatidiform mole.

Five women with complete and partial hydatidiform mole were examined by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Spin-echo pulse sequences (T2 weighted) were found to provide excellent resolution, while inversion-recovery pulse sequences (T1 weighted) gave better pathological detail. The myometrium was clearly seen on each patient and no invasion by the tumour detected. This corresponded to the histological findings. The potential uses of magnetic resonance in the diagnosis of primary and recurrent trophoblastic disease and its role in management are discussed.

The application of magnetic resonance imaging to gynaecology.

Magnetic resonance imaging is a significant new imaging modality currently undergoing assessment. Already it has an established role in evaluation of the central nervous and musculoskeletal systems. Its potential application in gynaecology is reviewed with a discussion of its advantages over other imaging techniques.

Pre-operative magnetic resonance imaging of stage 1 endometrial adenocarcinoma.

Twelve women with stage I endometrial adenocarcinoma were examined by magnetic resonance imaging before definitive surgery. Using this technique the depth of myometrical invasion, tumour site and cervical involvement were assessed and the results compared with the operative and pathological findings. Magnetic resonance imaging is a unique non-invasive method of assessing the early stages of endometrial adenocarcinoma before radiotherapy and surgery.
